Do some [all?] people favor drama [melodrama? melodramatics?] because if they don't have a dramatic life they might have no life at all?
Do Religious/Rich/Republicans [maybe everyone?] tend to exist in this hyperbolistic frame of mind that cast them in some desperate battle with some [projected?] vile, irredeemable 'enemy'?
Because they [we?] are somewhat incapable of or have difficulty with a simple, delicate, crafted life they [we?] leap into powerful streams of events to infuse their/our lives with events?
War on Terror?
Islamofascism?
911?
And it is not to say these things may not be true on some level, but with amplification/hyper-magnification, a molehill can be made to seem a mountain,
which used to be the standard 'special effect' of old [pre-computer graphics] Hollywood.
[Although, arguably stored electric charges turned into real seeming imagery through sophisticated processing is even more of an amplification/magnification.]
Do easy props such as banners & uniforms help to facilitate some dramas,
whereas more complicated subjects are not so easy to illustrate, although arguably they are far more significant & important?
War is a classic distractor/excuse to re-direct a society, most especially a[n economically] troubled society.
Unification through/using external focus.
Do they [we?] also tend to co-habitate with cynical facilitators?
Mechanic Cynics who utilize their/our propensity & favoring of drama, as a deception passion play to fulfill their own selfish agendas?
Not only do they use these addicts to drama/melodrama, they use them & their hyperbole to draw [seduce] others [victims] into it?
Does this sound reasonable as a descriptive tool for many different social/economic/political movements we see around us?
'War on Poverty' was probably a far more effective battlecry for [presumed?] social/economic injustice.
Now it could be, that life is actually addicted to drama. Life, especially neurological life is sort of self obsessed.
But even if that is true, is it perhaps advisable that we try to contain & keep this perhaps necessary process reasonably in check?
Could it be that some single melodramatic framing of our collective narrative tends to be in fashion at any given instant?
Working people, jobs, fairness used to be the battle cries of earlier epochs of culture.
Does the over amplification of one paradigm cancel out the legitimacies of other paradigms of thought?
Do simpler, more stupid paradigms tend to push out more complex ones?
Like the phrase, 'Bad money pushes out the good'?
How is it one drama cancels out another?
ratings & economics.
Dramatic paradigms are most economic & simple to project/amplify.
Deep more complicated/sterophonic realities are not so given to stark, binary, absolute simplicities.
Simple, poisonous, sticky dramatics can-be/are used to channel, direct, distract, seduce, derail people from their own personal selfish considerations & to seemingly de-legitimize, devalue them.
We do have collective selfish interests,
unnecessary war, i believe, is not one of them.
That is the game of parasitic, cynical cohabitators of toxic, arguably deadly & suicidal drama(s).
May i suggest a new battlecry?
War on stupidity! lol
if i believed in a good & wonderful god i would be praying for it,
maybe i am despite that belief.
